After a too-short vacation to Colorado, I headed to Des Moines to cover the girls' and boys' state basketball tournaments. We have lights set up in the catwalks, which gives us much better photos when the timing is right, but some frustration when I'm just a bit too quick..(and a lot of frustration for me and the photog here before me when they decide to not fire, a problem that we fixed by eliminating the hardwire connection between all the lights, and just hooking them each up to their own pocketwizard.) (at the end of this week, I'll post my favorites of the tournament.)
